House of the Dragon devotees are absolutely livid.
The Season Two finale dropped them right over the edge with an exasperating cliffhanger. The latest episode of the HBO smash saw Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy in action) rising in power, while Alicent Hightower (a worried Olivia Cooke) and Aemond’s (Ewan Mitchell losing it) storylines intensified.
After a mind-numbing two-year gap since the first season ended back in 2022, fans were understandably miffed, even more so given that this season was chopped down to a meagre eight episodes, ending in outcry at another nerve-wracking finale.

A peeved fan let rip on X (formerly known as Twitter): “HOTD season 2 finale was a dud in my eyes. Such a big setup that we will have to wait at least 2 years for.”

Another vented their spleen, saying: “HOTD Finale was a f***ing disappointment. Can’t believe waited 2 years for this. S03 better be good! ! ! ! “.
While a third seethed: “Just seen the season finally of HOTD and man that s**t sucked just like the last 2 episodes! ” and tacked on: “No damn action and now we have to wait idk how many years for season 3.”, reports the Mirror.
Reddit wasn’t safe from the fan fury either, with one irked poster declaring: “You know, this season could use 2 more episodes. Would anyone honestly be opposed? Instead, 2 more years here we come.”

And yet another frustrated viewer blew a gasket, stating: “Cliffhangers worked in game of thrones because the seasons weren’t 8 episodes and didn’t take 2 years in between seasons. What a let down”, as spotted by the Express.
Despite some viewers enjoying the episode in isolation, they were left feeling somewhat let down by the season as a whole, pondering if it was worth the two-year anticipation. “That was a great episode but an underwhelming season finale,” one viewer remarked on X.

“They spent the whole season building up to certain confrontations just to make us wait 2 more years to see them finally play out.”
Fortunately, HBO has confirmed that a third season of House of the Dragon is on the cards, so fans won’t be left hanging about the future of the spin-off. The network also hinted at another spin-off landing sooner than House of the Dragon’s third season.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will showcase George RR Martin’s cherished characters ‘Dunk’, Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and ‘Egg’, Duncan’s squire Aegon Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell). Set a century after House of the Dragon and a century before the events of Game of Thrones, the first season consists of six episodes set to be released in 2025.
